“Even before the sun shone on us, even before there was air to breathe, the square of the instep was equal to the sum of the heel.”
So sayeth Pythagoras (with minor paraphrasing) and it is to this great mind that these socks are dedicated.
They have an unusual construction, with the seam and gusset on the underside of the foot to allow the pattern to flow uninterrupted. The toe-up design has the benefit of allowing you to work the leg as long as your yarn lasts and there are various sizing options for a perfect bespoke fit. Available in XS (S, M, L, XL).
Sohcahtoa is suitable for the intermediate knitter.
